Line 10:
{{quote| '''Lulu:''' ...So we called it off.\}}
'''Nick:''' I think that's good. That's good. '''Lulu:''' No. We called off the big wedding and...we went to Atlantic City and got married.
* ''[[
** Similarly, the character of Romana was invented solely to tease the audience. She was another Time Lord of comparable age at the time Tom Baker was the youngest actor to have played the Doctor, they had brilliant on-screen chemistry ([[Romance On the Set|Baker even ended up]] ''[[Romance On the Set|marrying]]'' [[Romance On the Set|Lalla Ward]], who played Romana II), but the writers ''just would not'' go the extra distance.
** Let's not forget the kisses from the season one finale! Granted, Rose had absorbed the time vortex prior to hers, but Jack's was very likely thrown in just for the squee factor.
Line 69:
*** ''Shinkenger'' also hinted at the possibility of something developing between Chiaki and Kotoha. Sadly, nothing had come of it by the end of the series.
*** ''Boukenger'' appeared to have quite a bit of ship tease for Masumi and Natsuki, but Masumi's actor effectively [[Ship Sinking|sank the ship]] by stating [[Word of God|in interviews]] that it was intended to be more like a parent/child relationship. Hasn't stopped the shippers though.
*** The [[Where Are They Now]] epilogue of ''[[Gosei Sentai Dairanger]]'' hints that Lin and Kou might have become a couple or married in the future. Fans are divided on this one since some shippers preferred the idea of [[Fan
*** ''[[Engine Sentai Goonger]]'', which did not have a Pink or White Ranger, had ship tease between the Red and Silver Rangers, Sosuke and Miu, instead. Like with Chiaki and Kotoha above, nothing comes out of it.
* ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' continually teases both Simon/Kaylee and Mal/Inara. The latter's biggest moment is definitely at the end of "Our Mrs. Reynolds".
Line 89:
** The exclusive WonderCon trailer appears to be ''packed'' with this. Among the highlights are John getting extremely mad that Sarah suggests Cameron doesn't "love" him, as well as a scene where John is repairing Cameron's arm, and she holds his hand while doing so. And then there's the ending of the trailer, which shows John ''lying on top'' of Cameron in bed.
** Cameron's little rant in "Samson and Delilah", which John didn't exactly deny at the time. There's been surprisingly little fallout from that.
*** [http://io9.com/5145575/summer-glau-explains-the-nature-of-robot-love In this interview,] [[Summer Glau]] [[I Knew It!|confirms it:]] Cameron ''does'' love John.
*** As of the Season Two finale, I think it's fairly safe to say that it's requited.
** There's also a little bit of teasing with [[Foe Yay|Derek and Cameron]], such as the scene in "The Demon Hand" where he ends up staring at her for a prolonged time while she does a ballet dance, and in "To The Lighthouse," which has very suggestive shots of Derek shoving Cameron up against a wall in close proximity.
Line 99:
* Pepper Dennis and Curtis Wilson on the tv show ''Pepper Dennis''. It was mostly a tease for obvious reasons.
* [[Queer As Folk]] is one big Stuart/Vince tease. They are obviously in love with each other, but what with Stuart's [[All Gays Are Promiscuous|constant one-night-stands]] and Vince's reluctance to initiate anything, they remain in UST territory. They wind up together at the end of the series, but it is left ambiguous as to whether they are a romantic couple or not.
* The first couple of seasons of ''[[Star Trek Voyager]]'' appeared to be building up to a relationship between Captain Janeway and her second-in-command Chakotay, only for nothing to happen. According to the [[Word of God]] the whole issue was 'resolved' in the end-of-season episode "Resolutions", yet such hints continued throughout the series until the [[Last
* ''[[The X-Files]]'', despite having an onscreen chemistry that was practically explosive, the writers ignored the dramatic potential of a Mulder-Scully relationship until just prior to David Duchovny's departure (and, arguably, until long-time fans no longer really cared). The 2nd movie resorts to cheap [[Hand Wave]] and [[Its the Only Way]] plot twists to play this aspect of the series down.
** Given that the pairing of Mulder and Scully as romantic partners was supposedly accidental, there is a surprising amount of sexual tension and ship-teasing the first and second seasons. Like the neck-inspection scene in "Ice", with sexual tension so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Line 125:
** In-universe, Carly had done some [[Ship Tease]] to Freddie, like asking Freddie if he wanted to taste her lip gloss, he closes his eyes.. she smooshes it onto her hand and rubs it in his face.
** [[Dan Schneider]] wrote ''iStart A Fan War'' and ended it with Carly delivering a blatant [[Author Tract]] against how much emphasis [[Shipping]] has in the fandom. After a storm of fan criticism he wrote a blog defending the episode and confirming the [[Author Tract]]. It also said that an upcoming episode had an unspecified something that would please people. Everyone assumed it would be ship-related, and thus was another [[Ship Tease]] right after denouncing the Shippers.
** Sam provides an in-universe example in that episode: At one point, to Carly's and Freddie's chagrin, she tells their shippers, "It's true -- Carly and Freddie are deeply in love" just so she can sit back and watch the [[Ship
*** The unspecified something turned out to be a [[Cliff Hanger]] where Sam kisses Freddie and looks like the start of a Sam/Freddie/Carly love triangle. ''iStart A Fan War'': Don't watch for [[Shipping]]. ''iOMG'': Here is EVERYTHING THE SHIPPERS HAVE EVER WANTED, and you've got 6 months to argue before the next episode airs to resolve it.
* Nickelodeon's other teen show ''[[True Jackson VP]]'' teased the main ship True/Jimmy all throughout season one with no resolution or hookup until the next season.
Line 168:
* ''[[Boy Meets World]]'' had a bunch of this between Corey and Topanga in the first two seasons before they get together for the first time in the season 3 premiere. These included the kiss against the lockers from her debut appearance in early season 1, and the "You are you and I am I" speech from late season 2.
* Ted and Peggy in ''[[Just Cause (TV)|Just Cause]]''. The writers stick them together for three episodes that make it look like they're starting a relationship, beginning with him teaching her how to rollerblade and ending with her inviting him to a Christmas party at her parents' house. It's later implied that they talk regularly, although not necessarily that they're dating, but they [[Ships That Pass in The Night|never interact on screen again for the rest of the series]], before or after.
* The writers of ''[[Weeds]]'' have been consciously torturing the [[Fan
* Trailers for the fourth series of ''[[Merlin (TV)|Merlin]]'' are largely centered on the famous [[Love Triangle]] between Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot, with one scene depicting a Gwen/Lancelot kiss. It's shown completely out of context, and is currently fuelling most of the fandom debate.
* ''[[Supernatural (TV)|Supernatural]]''
